Stampin'B's Challenge #42 - Nautical

Joanne (our lover of lighthouses) was the hostess this week for the Stampin'B's DT Challenge Blog. She wanted us to do a nautical card – anything with boats, shells, lighthouses, etc., etc., etc.

I had bought an economy set of stamps from A.C. Moore before they closed their Orlando store – with shells and lighthouses. I especially liked this image, which I stamped with Palette Burnt Umber and colored with Copic and Prismcolor markers. The sentiment is from a set of nautical stamps from Impression Obsession, and I thought it would work well with the shells. After searching through my drawer full of blue paper, I found this Cloud 9 paper with all sorts of nautical sayings on it – it provided me with my color combo.-----------Stamps - A.C.

A little about me

My name is Lois, and I've been stamping since 2006. I retired a couple of years ago; and, although I volunteer at my church and a local non-profit, I do spend a great deal of my energies on this exciting hobby. My late husband and I raised three children, and I have eight grandchildren -- from age 9 to 27.
